Our community consists of two phases all on the same campus: Summit Achievement and Summit Traverse.

Summit Achievement is a primary intervention, with students transitioning each week between our campus and 4-day adventure therapy expeditions. It combines impactful adventure therapy and clinical sophistication, a strong academic program, and a therapeutic community.

Summit Traverse is an ideal next step for students graduating from our Achievement phase or another similar primary treatment program. Summit Traverse is an innovative, flexible-length therapeutic boarding school that combines family-centered therapeutic services, accredited classroom academics, and a rich residential life curriculum. We accept students who have successfully completed a primary treatment program and need help in transitioning back home or to a traditional boarding school.
